Science Quotes by Samuel Nathaniel (S.N.) Behrman (1 quote)
Psychoanalysis makes quite simple people feel they’re complex.
— Samuel Nathaniel (S.N.) Behrman
Spoken by character Harold Sigrift in the play Brief Moment, produced on Broadway 1932-33. In Terry Reed and Kenneth T. Reed, S. N. Behrman (1975), 129.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
